Former Shin Bet Head: Bibi, Barak Too Weak

Local Editor

In the first interview since leaving office, former "Israeli" Shin Bet Chief Yuval Diskin painted disconcerting picture of how the Zionist entity's most sensitive decisions are made.

As former Shin Bet chief, Diskin sat in on meetings dealing with threats against Iranians , the Palestinian issue and "Israel's" most grave security concerns.
In remarks to Yedioth Ahronoth, the "Israeli" official stated that he simply cannot keep quiet anymore. He has to say something, he said, before it is too late - before the third intifada becomes a fact, before "Israel" finds itself embroiled in a military campaign vis-à-vis Iran.

"My colleagues and I were very unsure of whether Netanyahu and Barak can lead an Iranian campaign. We didn't trust their motives. We were worried that they might pursue various moves that would compromise "Israel" based on irrelevant considerations or via underhanded ways. We had a feeling that they were trying to sneak something under the radar."

He further described the two "Israeli" top officials [Bibi and Barak] as "too weak".
"The prime minister's personal and political interests," Diskin said, "always outweigh those of "Israel".
In parallel, the former "Israeli" Intelligence head stressed that his feeling, "and many others in the military establishment share it, is that in the case of Netanyahu and Barak, the personal, opportunistic interests came first."
"With Barak, even when it came to the most sensitive discussions, the question of who gets credit for them was very important and at times it led to some very odd decisions," he clarified.

The Prime Minister's Office issued the following statement following the interview: "Diskin's ridiculous statements, made by a man who until six months ago wanted to be head of the Mossad, are recycled at this time for political reasons and stem from his own frustration about not being named to head the Mossad."
